Joey Russ

Would explain the no updates on him at all since 1965 then

She would’ve QO’d FYI

Oh damn, we can’t have anymore moments like the Tennessee None post now.

Sub obit for DDP. Another one I was pretty close to picking but backed away from in the final weeks

And the hits just seem to keep on coming. I had US representative Ron Wright on my team. Will be interesting to see who all also had him, although I don’t think he’ll be a solo.

Does get the BBC obit

2017 had the 2 in 1 Liz Dawn/Tony Booth followed by Hugh Hefner very soon after

That's why my answer was a bit tongue and cheek.

He was the secretary of state for the apparent lord and savior Ronald Reagan

CoffinLodger strikes once again

The moment that Spinks beat Ali for those interested:

Some scooping determines that he’s already in hospice, so would need an absolute miracle to even see March let alone 2022

Spinks has been KO'D, and as such a few cup competitors were able to score with him. Among them, BabyBlue get their joker points for Spinks, and as such take the lead against CalebH, who did also have Spinks. Meanwhile, ThereWillBeDeaths7 extends his lead even further. I'm beginning to think he's actually up against GuyFromSixMonthsAgo. Baby Blue vs CalebH 6 - 3 Djemba Djemba vs JoeMoneyPenny 3 - 0 BuffaloPhil vs nantonian2013 0 - 6 The Old Crem vs YorkshireBanker 0 - 0 Markb4 vs Charles De Gaulle 0 - 0 GreatUncleBulgaria vs Gooseberry Crumble 0 - 0 ThereWillBeDeaths7 vs GuyFromFuture 7 - 0

Link definitely exists

Evans did get the Mail AP so the point is moot for him.

SPINKS KO'D 3/50 5th February 2021 Professional heavyweight boxing legend Leon Spinks has died to give the crowdsource list a quick follow up hit. Spinks began his career by beating future champion (and past dead pool cult pick) Michael Dokes for the AAU title in 1974. He later got a gold medal at the 1976 Summer Olympics, beating out Sixto Soria for the gold medal. By the end of his amateur career, he only had 7 losses total and 133 KOS, so it was perhaps an omen to how well he would do once he got to the professional league. He defeated many folk in 1977 and eventually got Scott LeDoux to a draw in the same year. It was in 1978 however where his most remembered match occurred. He faced the all time great Muhammad Ali in February 1978, where Ali underestimated Spinks and lost the heavyweight title to Spinks. It ended up being the only time Ali lost a title to anybody. Spinks refused to defend the heavyweight title against Ken Norton however, and he was stripped of the title because of it. He eventually rematched Ali, where this time the legend easily defeated Spinks. Spinks slowed down after that, eventually being defeated by Larry Holmes in order to get the heavyweight title back and moving to cruiserweight soon afterwards. He still boxed up to 1994, but despite his mixed record in the end, he still had that record of being one of the few boxers to beat Ali. In late 2019, it was announced that he had prostate cancer, and while at first it seemed like not that big of a threat, it eventually became clear it was much more severe as 2020 went along. As such, he easily punched his way past the competition to get a top 10 spot on his debut year.

Sticking with Jimmy Carter till he dies. Feels overdue

Yep I had him. With previously rejected Bayh and Spinks now going after Josh Evans, it seems like the gates are starting to open on the competitive side of things...

Mirror obit, though he’ll get much more

That's already 2 out of four of them where the answer is no...

Yeah, once it became very clear that his cancer was still going after his initial hospitalization I knew he was a goner

NFL media journalist and possible longlister Chris Wesseling has died from cancer

Just a tip for the future, if someone is a former US Senator or related to a US Senator who had some relevance in the mainstream, they are almost certainly going to get a QO. I say almost certainly because you had Senator Mark Andrews somehow not getting a QO, but he seems to be the exception rather than the rule

Yeah, I thought she would be more long term at this point if she was able to last over 2 and a half years with glio already. But sod laws make it that both she dies and makes the drop 40 this time...
